Kwara United Football Club has officially unveiled Coach Ashifat Sulaiman, popularly known as Brazil, as the club’s new Technical Adviser, with a clear message — “We want to win the league.”
Coach Ashifat, a former player and captain of the club, signed his contract on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, at the club’s secretariat in Ilorin. The deal runs until the end of the current season, with an option for extension based on performance. He replaces Coach Tunde Sanni, who was asked to step aside two weeks ago.
Supervising the signing on behalf of the club chairman, Kumbi Titiloye, the General Manager, Bashir Badawiy, described the appointment as the beginning of a new chapter for the Harmony Boys. He praised Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the Kwara State Sports Commission, and other stakeholders for their continued support of the team.
“We want to begin a new journey with a trusted coach, Ashifat Sulaiman, because we want the team to continue to grow and succeed,” Badawiy said. “The contract will run until the end of the season, with an option for extension based primarily on performance.”
In his first remarks after signing the contract, Coach Ashifat expressed strong belief in his team’s ability to achieve great success this season.
“Our target is to win the league and also defend the President Federation Cup title we won last season,” he declared. “We have the players to achieve that. My coaching philosophy is built on possession football and creativity. We believe in our supporters and fans to help us reach our goals.”
Ashifat’s appointment marks his second stint as Kwara United’s head coach, having previously served in assistant coaching roles.
Kwara United will next face Rangers International in Enugu in their upcoming Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) fixture.
